To prepare a component for classic plus styling, PeopleTools and PeopleSoft application development teams have reworked some of the page controls on each of the pages within the component. Then, the teams have set the Apply Fluid like theme for Classic check box on the Style tab of the Component Properties dialog box. A component can also be configured with the Fluid like theme for Classic on the Component Branding page. Despite this setting, other component and page properties remain set as standard classic components and pages.

In cases where Classic Plus is not enabled on a desired component, or alternatively where Classic Plus is enabled as delivered but we may want to disable it on a certain component, we will need to enable it manually via a Component property (Classic Plus Theme Selection). Some of the new peoplecode built-in functions introduced in the latest PeopleTools version that cater to classic plus styling are as follows:

ConfigureClassicPlusComponent

ConfigureClassicPlusForWC

To enable Classic Plus we can simply use the function ConfigureClassicPlusComponent in conjunction with Event Mapping and enable/disable Classic Plus without incurring any customisations.

The below snippet of code can be implemented in an application package which can be attached to a service and then tagged to the content reference of the component for which we want to enable Classic Plus:
